Pros

  • Free Wifi
  • Clean and relaxing environment
  • Skilled therapists

Cons

  • Crowded during peak hours
  • Therapist competency may vary

Ninispa is known for its innovative services for self-care. We love how they tailor your experience based on your personal needs.

In addition, we like that their therapists are certified by Cidesco, a major international therapy school. With this, you can be sure that their therapists use modern tools and techniques for their services.

Their accommodating and knowledgeable therapists suggest the best treatments, making for a comfortable and informative experience.

We’re impressed by the variety of services that you can get. From classic massages to beauty detox, they ensure you can get everything in one place.

Another notable aspect is their facilities; their modern yet cosy interiors are well-maintained and designed with relaxation in mind.

They also have a shower and toilet in each room, which is convenient for the clients.

Overall, we are happy with what we’ve seen, but a downside is their services are expensive. However, they offer a membership programme where you can get cheaper rates and complementary treatments.

Furthermore, based on our surveys, some customers claim that their satisfaction with the service depended on who did their treatment, which can be a hit or miss for first-timers.

We recommend asking about the therapist handling your services first to get the most out of the experience.

But, ultimately, Ninispa is still a good choice, especially if you’re looking for modern and specialised massage techniques.

Pros

Cons

  • Crowded during peak hours
  • Therapist competency may vary

Manchester Massage is a haven in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter. Here, you can enjoy the benefits of a variety of massages. 

We like that their location is only a two-minute walk from Shudehill tram station. On the other hand, Manchester Massage is just a three-minute walk from Victoria train station, making it convenient for weekday appointments.

Upon entering, you’ll see their facilities’ contemporary design, which we found surprisingly relaxing. Of course, the cleanliness and calming music in the background are also a big plus for us.

We’re also impressed by their professional spa treatments, including Deep Tissue, Aromatherapy, Thai, and Herbal Compress Massages. So, you can find the perfect relaxing treatment here.

They also accept consultation requests if you are still deciding what service to avail. In our opinion, it makes the experience more comfortable and less intimidating.

We’re just iffy about how crowded it can get during peak hours. If you’re looking for a more indulgent and extended stay, booking with them during their off hours is best.

Despite their positive reviews, some customers we’ve talked to complained that their prices change without prior notice. We think it can be an issue for those on a strict budget.

Besides that, they also don’t have any services for pregnant women.

One thing keeping us positive about them is their exceptional customer service. Many clients we spoke with appreciated that the staff is always accommodating to any requests and concerns.

Overall, we recommend Manchester Massage for those looking for an accessible and quick spa session – perfect for a quick weekday escape.

Pros

  • Clean and beautiful interiors
  • Offers a wide range of treatments
  • Highly skilled staff

Cons

  • Higher priced services
  • Mediocre customer service

Exhale Spa West in Didsbury is a modern and stylish spa offering various services aside from classic massages. It’s an excellent place to get multiple treatments for your self-care day.

We love that their location is easily accessible, with the metropolitan bus stop just around the corner. Parking is available at Parrs Wood road but it’s a bit far, considering it’s a twenty-minute walk.

As for the interiors, their luxurious, well-designed interiors feel like a five-star hotel spa. We also give them plus points for offering complimentary non-alcoholic beverages.

Overall, Exhale Spa West has an excellent gamut of treatments. Their services range from massages and facial care to nail and eyelash extensions. 

We’re also pleased that they offer pre and post-natal care packages for those in their first trimester of pregnancy.

Another thing we love is their massages are available for all body parts that are usually affected by injury and fatigue. In addition, there are packages available for those looking to get multiple services done.

From what we’ve seen, a downside to them is their prices. It’s less affordable than other places so it can be an issue for those on a budget looking for a regular massage place.

In addition, the complaints about the reception not addressing client concerns. Some even claimed that they were disrespectful and dismissive.

Nonetheless, we think Exhale Spa West is still a good choice if you want more options for treatments than the usual massage services.

Pros

  • Affordable prices
  • Calming interiors
  • Easy to book an appointment

Cons

  • Staff lacks professionalism
  • Small facilities

Sarasin Spa prides itself in authentic Thai massage techniques that provide a refreshing and energising experience.

It’s located within Manchester’s City Centre, near bus stops and trams, which is favourable for those in the same vicinity.

We love that their intricate interior draws inspiration from all over the world. They focus on traditional Thai motifs that create an exotic but relaxing environment.

Their services are mostly traditional Thai techniques, reflexology, and herbal scrubs. We’re also impressed that they offer services for pregnant women.

On the other hand, a downside to their traditional treatments is that their massage styles and services aren’t up-to-date. It’s mostly focused on Thai practices, and we think it’s a bit old-school compared to other massage spots in the area.

With that said, what’s keeping us positive about them is their affordable rates. They regularly provide discounts and special offers, making them a good option if you want a regular massage appointment without splurging too much.

Aside from this, the facilities are small with little room to relax. From what we’ve seen, some rooms are beside the reception area, and you can easily hear the noise outside your room.

Despite these downsides, Sarasin Spa is still a good option for a great massage experience in Manchester. We think this place is especially great for accessible and affordable massage treatments.

5. Arokaya Massage & Therapy Centre

Pros

  • Exceptional customer service
  • Calming interiors
  • Accessible location

Cons

  • Small rooms
  • Prices cheaper online

Arokaya is an exclusive massage and therapy centre specialising in authentic Thai treatments. They stand out from the other spas in the area because they provide an Eastern twist to the massage experience.

Their spa is just a short walk from Chorlton metro station and a two-minute walk to Groby Road bus stop. It’s pretty accessible to Manchester’s posher areas.

One of the best things we like about them is that they offer affordable rates within Manchester’s posher neighbourhoods. 

Their traditional massages cost £50 per hour, while their Deep Tissue Massage and Intensive Sports Massage ranges from £50 for one hour to £95 for two hours.

We love that this makes them more affordable than other options around the same area.

We’re also impressed by their Thai-themed interiors. Also, their lightly scented rooms and waiting areas add to the overall experience.

Their friendly and engaging team also puts in the effort to accommodate any specific requirements you may have. And with this, we have to give it to them in terms of customer satisfaction.

Still, everything has a downside. In this case, there are multiple customer complaints regarding their therapists. Some customers we’ve talked to claimed their sessions felt rushed during peak hours.

We’re also iffy about their lower prices if you book through their website. The way we see it, this can confuse those on a strict budget because their walk-in prices are much higher.

Thus, we recommend taking the time to confirm the prices before starting your session.

Overall, Arokaya Massage & Therapy Centre is still a good option if you are willing to look past the issues we mentioned.

Pros

  • Wide range of services
  • Knowledgeable and skilled therapist
  • Relaxing environment
  • Easy booking

Cons

  • Closed on Tuesdays

One of the best places to get a massage is at NU.U THERAPY.

It’s ran by Sarah, an independent holistic massage therapist with four years of experience. While four years might not seem like much compared to others, we think that that shouldn’t matter as much because she’s pretty amazing.

After finishing her university degree, she studied Complementary Therapy Diploma at a private college. Then later received a Level 2 and 3 ITEC and VTCT certificate FHT approved, and that’s when she began working.

She’s an insured member of the Federation of Holistic Therapies, and we like that she abides by the Federation’s Code of Conduct and Professional Practice. This way, she assures that clients receive high standards and utmost professionalism.

Just from her movements and techniques, we already find that she’s knowledgeable about her field and knows exactly what she’s doing.

We, along with many other clients, vouch that we’ve had some of the best massages we’ve had at her clinic. We all definitely felt a lot better after a session with her.

We like that she has numerous services to choose from—massages, facials, reflexology, sound vibration therapy, yoga, and reiki. If you need to relax or relief from pains, we think she may be very helpful.

The room is also calming and relaxing, so it’s the perfect space to rejuvenate and heal.

It’s easy to book an appointment through her website, and prices are conveniently noted there as well.
